## Summary

The Metropolitan Police have opened a criminal investigation after receiving several allegations of historical serious sexual offences against David Walliams. The reports are separate from claims previously covered by ITV News and The Guardian, although detectives are reviewing that coverage too.

The article says two women allege Walliams pursued them when they were 15, while other young women have accused him of sexual misconduct. One woman alleges he contacted her on MySpace in 2007, met her in Soho and assaulted her at his home; Walliams denies wrongdoing, and his lawyers deny any sexual contact with her. Police say specialist officers are supporting those who have come forward and urge anyone affected to report offences, regardless of when they occurred.
